How an Affair Can Help Your Marriage

When I first got the idea for this post a few weeks ago, it was going to go very differently. Christopher and I had shared a blissful week and a half of shameless flirting, some conversations that were definitely dirtier than our spouses would have approved of, and even a few stolen moments alone when [...]

Polyamory Can Work

Recently we had a very sad little shout out to anyone who has a thriving successful polyamorous relationship. This poor guy was worried because while everywhere he read that polyamory is a wonderful lovestyle, and it is a wonderful lovestyle, but when he would ask questions he would get sob story after sob story. It’s [...]

Diary of a Cougar: Balancing the Cougar Life

It’s been four months since my PYT and I have been a couple and even though there have been some small rough patches, I look forward to each and every day. I thought that anticipatory time had come to a halt a little while ago when my mood changed, my desire waned and my kids [...]

When Pain Fails as Punishment

Yesterday was pretty shitty. I got in trouble. And I got beat. The beating is rarely the punishment. I mean, he always means for it to be, but neither of us can control what the beating does to our respective parts. And yesterday was no different. The beating, regardless of how angry M is, often [...]

A Strange Affair (or Infidelity Chicken)

At this time last week, I was perfectly content with my life. I am a happily married woman. My husband T and I have a wonderful son who will be entering kindergarten in September. I love T so much it hurts sometimes, and I would be lost without him. I’ve even told him that I [...]

Freedom

One of the criticisms of open marriage and polyamory I read about is that it is too free. Wouldn’t we all like to be able to have sex with whomever we want? Somehow this is just wrong. There have to be limits and it’s immature to want more. The premise being that it is selfish [...]

Communication

I have finally accepted that my husband LOVES my body, loves the real me. This might seem like something to be taken for granted; I mean what wife doesn’t believe her husband loves her? For many women, though, this is the driving force in their lives. We worry about that pimple, those stray hairs, the [...]

My Virtual Switch:  Invisible Chains

Am I still addicted to my Sexy Mother Fucker, you ask? It’s no longer an addiction. It’s more of a deep, burning desire. An all-consuming fire. Like all relationships, ours has evolved. Based on circumstances, based on timing, based on environmental upheavals from local rockstars. Whatever the case may be, I don’t feel like I [...]

Diary of a Cougar: What my PYT taught me

I’ve never really been that shy about talking about sex or my sexually, but I’ve never publicly written about it either. I’m a trained journalist with a Christian mother, an uptight ex-husband, four children and supposedly enough common sense to leave a little bit to the imagination. Most recently my common sense seems to have [...]

All I Need is Love

In light of my partner and my upcoming 2 year dating anniversary, I decided to write a post on us and love. Though we have only been together for 2 years, it seems so much longer that we have been together. I still love reminiscing about how we were when we first met each other. [...]

The Secret Life of a Cam Model

I have made it very clear to all who know about my secret life, that I am extremely unhappy with parts of my work. I realize now I was just constantly whining and bitching about something I chose to do. I am sure I have made a few people throw up a brow, or made [...]

My Virtual Switch: Turn On the Vibe, Daddy!

Because every time my phone buzzes I am in anticipation of his words. The new relationship I have with SMF started on Facebook. I would hear the familiar little “beep” when a new message would pop over and fill up inside the chat box. I would now qualify that sound as the one you would [...]

Natural Order/Misogyny

A couple weeks ago, I mentioned that M believes in a natural order. That means, basically, that he believes that men and women each have their place in the balance of life, and that they are not on equal footing. I hear you grumbling. But it’s not what you think. M’s belief in a natural [...]

WotW: Vanilla

Have I told you lately about how I despise the term ‘vanilla’? Specifically when it’s used in reference to other people’s sexual lifestyle. It’s typically uttered from the lips (or fingertips) of self-proclaimed ‘kinksters’ as they almost knock you over with their smug sense of superiority. They want you to know that the sex they’re [...]

My Virtual Switch:  The Rules of Engagement and Our Relationship Stages

…the Virtual Switch continues. For this point going forward I will refer to my virtual switch lover as SMF (Sexy Mother Fucker). I call him this of course from that great 80’s Prince song of the same title. Actually Prince’s song title is ‘Sexy M.F.’ but you get the idea. And why do I call [...]
